Stuart and others in attendance heard Nate Thompson, VP Strategy and
Innovation of Oppenheimer Funds, talk about the future of work. Nate is a catalyst, healthy
disruptor and recipient of the 2016 Workforce Magazine Game Changer
award. Key Takeways from Nate: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to take away some of our jobs though not all - he showed a favorite photo of his mother, a former Bank Executive with his then 1-year old son - that led to more key points ('Nateisms') to illustrate how we all must continuously improve as we advance our career. Among other examples, Nate showed the Snapchat (SNAP) IPO market capitalization - noting it is the platform that matters not the 'disappearing photos' that creates long-term value.

If you get a chance may see a LinkedIn post about the event - where you see that it 'was very good.' Connect or you may join the conversation there too.
